Retaliating Upon Canada.

The Senate on Monday passed bill which
is likely to bring the Canadians to their
senses, in the matter Of fisheries The dis
cussion was very spirited. Senators Frye
and Ingalls, bitterly denounced England's
policy, the latter asserting that England
wished to stir up bad feeling between the
United States and Canada, in order to pre-
vent that paciication in the immediate fi-
ture which their relative situation and the
laws of trade would bring about. Senator
German advocated non-intercourse with
Canada, by not allowing her the right-of-
way for cars through our territory.
The bill as passed by the Senate author
ICES the President whenever he is satisfied
that any injustice has been done American
fishermen in Dominion waters, or they have
been denied entrance to any ports when they
have permit under the laws of the United
States, to issue proclamation denying
Dominion vessels, their masters or crews
any entrance into American ports, with
such exceptions as he may see proper,
or to deny the entry of fish or other
products coming from the Dominion. All
vessels violating the treaty shall be for
feited to the United States. Persons
acting contrary to proclamation are
TO be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and
punished by 81 900 fine or imprisonment not
exceeding two years. or both

MIR. DENNIS ON THE MORTGAGE TAX,
PRINCESS ANNE, MD, Jan.,s4, 1851.

To The Editor ofHe 4Egis and IntsHigencer
DEAR SIR: wish very briefly to reply in few
words 10 the communication, in your paper of
2lst instant. from Hon. E. NJ. Allen SO far us re-
CARDS myself
Mr.. Allen may rest assured that always say
wnat mean and mean what say. | voted for
the majority report upon the subject of taxation
in the Farmers Convention. because thought
1t fully met my views and was not obnoxious to
the Objectionable feature in his that REQUIRED us
10 say we would vote for no person for the Con-
sttutional Convention. or the next LEGISLATURE
unless sucn person was in favor of taxing mort
gage debts-for that was the matter aimed at-no
matter how unobjectionable such person might
be In all oiher particulars. 1t did not seem to
occur 10 Mr.. Alien, that sometimes II may hap
pen that failure to vote just as effectually
causes the election of an Objectionable individual
as direct affirmative vote.
AS regards the taxation OF mortgage debts I
am and always have been of opinion they ought
to be taxed In no sense is mortgage proper
ever taxed. Inc mortgage proper is mere se-
curity-an incident 10 the debt and goes with the
DEBT US security Tor its payment and nothing
more. Mnen the security is mortgage, its re-
lation 10 the DEBTS precisely similar to personal
security. The mode of enforcing payment out Of
the two securities, of course, would be different
but the principle underlying that relation is the
same. The strictly technical mortgage being a
mere security, of course could no more properly
be taxed than personal security, but in either
case the main thing, that is the debt is property
and should pay its proportion of the public bur
dens.
am glad to hear Mr.. Allen proposes TO vote
hencetorth the Democratic ticket, but hope he
does not suppose that those he seems to call
Regular democrats" constitute tho Democratic
party. me Democratic party, consists of the
people, ana IN the mass they are always right
Into every party there will at times be found
some who bring upon it shame and reproach,
hut these men no more reflect the party than
Judas did the Apostles, or Benedict Arnold did
the patriots of the Revolution
When Mr. Allen, however, makes such an adj
vance as TO come out of the Republican party
and TO come to the Democratic party even
II ne elects to go with the so called "Regu-
lars, there Is room and ground for hoping that
there may be better times coming.
Very respectfully,

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SUsoUEHANNA.-Ad del
egation of citizens of Port Deposit had con.
ference last week, at Washington, with Con-
gresham Shaw, 10 secure some provision by
the present Congress for the improvement of
the Susquehanna river in the vicinity of Port
Deposit, in order to avert, If possible, the an
hual recurrence of the danger of the destruction
of the place by floods caused by ice gcrges.
The delegation was composed of J. Harvey
Rowland, John McCennahan, VIM. McCul-
Tough and Rev. MIR. Garrett. After they had
stated their mis- sion 10 DIR. Shaw, the latter said
1t was loo late for him to do any thing for the
susquehanna in the House, as the river and har-
Dor bill has passed from the committee having
this subject in charge, and is now pending be-
fore the House. He suggested however, that
they should go over 10 the Senate and request
the Maryla Senators to put in an amendment
TO meet their We've. The Maryland Senators
were subsequently seen, and promised to do all
In their power to accomplish the desired result.

The Coal Strike.

The coal strike is spreading and no one
can tell where or when it will end. The
brakemen on all railroads carrying coal into
New York, Jersey City and adjacent towns
have refused to brake coal trains and the
Pennsylvania and Maryland miners are also
joining the coal handlers. The brutal and
inhuman murder of the unoffending bow
Hogan, by the Pinkerton detectives, who
fired at crowd of children who were throw
ing snow balls and hooting at them, has in.
tensified the feeling against the coal compa-
mics. The strikers say the latter must come
to them and accede to their terms, if they
wish settlement. No more coal, 1t is
thought, will reach New York until settle
ment of the differences between the coal COM
panies and the coal beavers are adjusted.
In debate in the New York Legislature,
on the coal strikes 1t was asserted that the rea-
son coal is so costly Is because of combina-
ton of coal and railroad monopolists, whose
main object is to regulate the supply of coal
in the cities that the price will be run up to
~ or $40 ton. A committee was appoint
ed to investigate the matter.

A PROPOSED New PLAN FOR REPAIRING OUR
PUBLIC RoADs.-Committecs of the several
farmers clubs of the county met on Wednesday,
in the office of the County Commissioners, to
discuss the ever-present and important road
question, with an especial view of suggesting.
If possible Improvements upon our present
method Of foad-mendug. The Deer Creek
Club was represented by John Moores and VIM.
Munnikhuysen; Fallston Club by VIM. Lee
Amoss and VIM. NJ. Edelin,, aud wilma Club by
Frank {. Norris and Sias W. Hollugsworth.
MIR. John Moorcs was called TO the chair, F.
c. Norris being appointed Secretary.
The conference was opened by Mr. VIM. NJ
Edelin,, who condemned the present system and
said the plan generally pursued of giving out
road-warrants is radically wrong. The people
most directly interested should be appointed
road supervisors.
Mr.. Moores thought the fault was not so
much in the system as its abuse. He thought
the appointment of road supervisors should be
lett as much as possible TO each neghborhood
Mr.. Amoss said that the road question had
been repeatedly discussed in the Fallston Club,
and 1t was agreed TO propose n change in the
present plan-not radical and swgcpug-but
what it is hoped will be an improvement. 1t
was proposed that the County Commissioners
be requested 10 appoint a road commission of
four qualified persons in each precinct to super
wise the roads thereof. This commission TO Sc.

repair the roads aud have charge of the road

blame the Commissioners but thought the plan
proposed would give us better roads for less
money.
Mr. Norris said the wilma Club had cor.
responded with persons in various counties and
states with reference to systems of mendng
roads, and had found serious objections to the
contract and other systems pursued elsewhere
The system here in Hartford is as good
as any, provided good men were always select
ed to mend the roads. The preference also
should be given to those directly interested in
the roads of a neghborhood

ed by men who don't know how to work roads,
but he did not favor radical change in the
system
Mr.. Moorcs suggested that since the people of
Falston precinct were anxious to try the pro.
posed plan, he hoped the Commissioners would
give it a trial in that precinct. If it proved
successful 1t might then be adopted in other
precincts. The joint committee thereupon
adopted the following resolutions.

submerged and cellars filled with several feet
of water. The residents on Main street, In
Port Deposit, packed up and removed to higher
localities. The water gradually receded, but
on Wednesday there was another movement of
the ice and another flood. The lower floor of
Rock Run Mill, on the Hartford side, was cover
ed with water and the people of Lapidum were
apprehensive of trouble. Wednesday night the
water was five feet deep in some of the streets
OF Port Deposit and trains on the Columbia and
Port Deposit Railroad had to stop mile from
the town. The liver and bay below the p, w.
